Hi All,

With a future now of working from home, we have decided to renovate our study. The current iteration of the design has some painted units along the back wall and a large desk on the opposite wall (has the entrance door to one side and rest the desk). The units we are looking to make them look like a piece of purpose built furniture and keen to also make the desk look more interesting/ like a piece of furniture rather than a piece of worktop/ board with 4 legs etc. Both I am informed I am going to be making

We are flexible on a modern vs traditional design and some ideas we have had are
1. Something that is say 900m one end narrowing down to say 400mm (2m long) and at the 400m end (where the door is) some shelves to form the leg.
2. A piece of timber which has the bark/ ragged edge still on for the front edge
3. Glass (although not particularly keen)

Anyone come across some more interesting designs/ materials used?

I got my computer desk from a company called 21st Century Antiques; a
Winchester business that didn't actually make it into the 21st Century.
It is in the style of a Victorian kneehole writing desk, similar to this:

but finished in English yew veneer. What appears to be three drawers in
the left pedestal is a cupboard to hold the computer and a printer. The
centre drawer front fold down and a keyboard platform slides out. That
has another platform underneath, which slides out to the side for the
mouse mat. Two brass plates at the back of the desk top allow cables to
come up to the monitor.
